Previously, they had been sweepers — toilet cleaners, the lowest class of domestic servants — and now they began living the lives of princesses and princes! Kalemama, who was a Brahmin, had to look after them and arrange everything to suit their comfort. Similar to Krishna's servitude to Amir, to wipe out his sanskaras of prejudice, Baba had given him this duty, and he had to bow and acquiesce to their every whim and fancy.
Besides being put in this awkward position of being a servant to Harijans, Kalemama knew quite a few people in Sholapur. They would inquire who the new residents in the bungalow were. What could Kalemama say? He would hide from his acquaintances and try to avoid their embarrassing questions. But when he went to the bazaar, he would be confronted by one person or another. When pressed as to why he had been evading them, he would reply: "The pilgrim of the Path who is merged in his devotions is not permitted to go anyplace where his practices are likely to be disturbed."
The Zoroastrian navjot (thread) ceremony of Baba's brother Beheram's son and daughter, Sheroo and Gulnar, was held before Baba at Meherabad on Saturday, 29 January 1944.
A week later, on 5 February, Baba, accompanied by Mehera, Mani, Meheru, Margaret and Walu, left for Aurangabad. The women stayed in Prem Basera , the bungalow that Adi. Sr. had rented in advance in the Ghati locality of the city Chanji, Kaka, Adi Sr. and Masaji had proceeded there beforehand to make arrangements, renting lodging adjacent to Prem Basera, in which Baba and the men stayed. Venkoba Rao was called to do nightwatch, and later Krishna. Kaka and Masaji at times, also, shared in nightwatch duty.
Baba later called all the remaining women from Meherabad to come and stay at Aurangabad for a week. Upon arrival, they moved into the house Baba and the men had been occupying. Baba and the men moved into Prem Villa , another bungalow that had been rented. Baba took everyone to see the Daulatabad Fort and Ellora Caves, and after a week, sent the Meherabad women back.
Baidul was called to Aurangabad, and he would bring masts with whom Baba would work in Prem Villa. Baba worked with them daily from 12 February, from eight in the morning until noon. Adi brought the high mast Mai Bap from Khuldabad, whom Baba had contacted in 1939. Mai Bap was his adopted name, which meant Mother-Father.
